I suspect it is me/us, after all... a fair amount of ICANN financing comes from the joint RIRs, if I'm not mistaken. So yes, if we tell the RIRs, they should be able to achieve an effect.
Based on: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/budget-fy22-2021-en.pdf page 10 (page 12 per PDF), RIR contribution is .8MUSD out of 144MUSD budget. The vast majority of their budget comes from registrar transaction fees. Regards, Hank
